Guidance :
* Guidance 3-5% revenue growth and 7-9% earnings growth.
* They expect to generate cumulative free cash flow of around $55.5 billion over the next 5 years.
Needs little less than $1B in capex every year till then, because they are investing in new gen products.

Needs little less than $1B in capex every year till then, because they are investing in new gen products.
At $39/share, market cap is $87.5B and enterprise value of ~$143B, because they have total borrowings of $61B and some cash in balance sheet.
Current price ratios :
* P/FCF = 8x
* EV/FCF = 13x
Current price ratios :
* P/FCF = 8x
* EV/FCF = 13x
Thesis : Increased market share in new gen products, results in multiple expansion.
* At the guidance of $11B FCF per year for the next 5 years, and assuming 10 times FCF multiple, market cap --> $110B --> 5% CAGR.
* Dividends are currently 7.5%.
Total IRR : 5 + 7.5 = 12.5%
* At the guidance of $11B FCF per year for the next 5 years, and assuming 10 times FCF multiple, market cap --> $110B --> 5% CAGR.
* Dividends are currently 7.5%.
Total IRR : 5 + 7.5 = 12.5%
Currently they are using $3.6B of their FCF-after-dividends money to repay debt.
If we assume the same going forward, they would have repaid $18B, which brings total borrowings to $43B by 2025;
Enterprise Value --> ~$150B. Bringing EV/FCF multiple of 13, which is same as today.

For a perpetual owner :
* If we assume $11B in FCF going forward, that's 7.5% EV/FCF yield.
* Assuming 3% volume decline + 6% price increase per year, we get to 3% long term growth.
Total IRR --> 7.5 + 5 = 10.5%

Bonus (not included in any of the above calculations) :
They own 30% of ITC, which is worth $10B. ITC is one of the biggest consumer staple brands in India. Equivalent of Unilever and Nestle when it comes to brand mind share. Arguable ITC itself is undervalued in market cap.
